    I'h heard it before, but couldn't bring myself to believe it--do Mormons really have to wear special underwear? Do they wear it all the time? Please, tell me more.

    Wow. It really looks like a beacon of light in the distance. Very luminescent.

    My impression is that you cannot go into a temple unless you are Mormon (and carry some kind of card? or something?). This is second-hand info, and is from a person who visited about 15 years ago. Perhaps the policy is different now.

    bummer, though isn't it?
    'cause I'd love to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing inside the temple.

    Nice picture!! I have the same camera as you, but I am still figuring it out. LOL!

    "i'm going there someday" ha! not until you stop using the word "fuck" young lady!!!

    kinda creepy how everything in the pic but the temple is slightly grainy. did you do that on purpose or did it just turn out that way? i guess it's because everyone else is damned for using the word "fuck"!

    I'd always heard it was fireproof underwear.
    Isn't asbestos itchy?

    Kind of looks like a Fleet Enema bottle in the distance.

    Wow. Amazing colors.

    It looks like something that would go on a postcard. Almost. Neat.

  • Leta (too!) said:

    That is so incredible. I also have a Nikon D70, but somehow I cannot get it to take nearly as amazing pictures as you, Heather. And I am still trying to utilize all that Photoshop has to offer. I really need to take a class on it or something.

    It's not the camera that takes the photos, but the person holding the camera who knows when to shoot.

    Beautiful.

    Special underwear?

    And after being a Mormon for at least 20 years, you've never been allowed in the temple?

    Interesting colors.

  • yp said:

    the saturation of the colors in this photo looks a lot like the way the Holga 120SF with the polaroid back looks because of the light leaks and the flimsy chinese factory plastic it's made of. Is this a film shot scanned in or a D70 shot?

    It's true!

    Special underwear. http://www.algonet.se/~daba/lds/tgarment.htm

    I read another site which was more anecdotal, and a woman there said she remembered her mom and grandmother wearing them UNDER REGULAR BRAS AND SLIPS. This was (is?) common! No one talks about it b/c it's "sacred not secret." Also a fun fact: they are referred to as "garmies" by those who live with them. Hee hee. Sorry to laugh, but it is as ridiculous as not mixing dairy and meat. Jeez some of us such slaves to superstition and ancient (or anyway outdated) ritual ... and no, I'm not an antheist. Just not a fan of organized religion.

  • Beth said:

    Wow, that's gorgeous! Is it a high ISO? I've played with that on my D70 (shot at a live gig) and it was a really cool effect.

    Lovely!

  • Jess said:

    Fireproof underwear...good hell. The pic is beautiful, I think that Mormon temples are awesome buildings. Umm to answer Danielle's question not just anyone can get in and they do have a card...it's called a recommend. I believe you are interviewed to see if you are worthy to enter..
